Save to file as a .plt change to .ps and open it in adobe acrobat. Print to you plotter using adobe. I had the same problem. Also, you can automate this process using a mapkey (or at least i did).

Are you using windows print manager or have you configured your printer in Pro/E?


If you have it as a Pro/E printer (which I recomend strongly) set it up as a postscript printer by adding this line in your .pcf file : "plotter postscript"


Having a defined printer in pro/E and just using the postscript drivers rather than a printer specific driver makes it so much easier to control the output.

Here is a plot config file I use with the printer here. Copy it into your {loadpoint}\text\plot_config directory, & see if it works (the default paper size is A3).


If it works, modify the file for whatever size paper you want, and away you go.

{loadpoint} is the directory where Wildfire is installed to
